Prison rehabilitation is a $60 BILLION dollar scam! Of the
95% of PRISONERS that will one day be released, 75% will be back
in prison within
48 months! (read more)

Government or God?

Through the
years it has become painfully evident: Government programs costing
billions of dollars haven't worked. God's program does work
because it is Bible based and Spirit directed. We know from over 30
years of contending for the faith (Jude 1:3) that if any man be in
Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold,
all things are become new (2
Corinthians 5:17).
That's why the PMI Center chose in 1981 to provide life-changing
TUITION-FREE
distance Bible college level studies to prisoners featuring the
following study program tracks:

Apologetics(2 years)

Biblical Studies (6 years)

Christian Education (2 years)

Ministry Ordination (2 years

Nouthetic Counseling (2 years)

Prophecy(Jack Van Impe- 2 years)

Religious Ed (2 years )

Scofield Bible Theology (2 years)

Theology (2 years) PhD option

All are
fundamental
in doctrine (we use the Authorized King James Bible),
practical
in structure, and underwritten exclusively by the generous
freewill offerings of those who believe in what we're doing and
support us.

We're proud
to say that many of our 20,000 students plus have received
their diplomas from PMI and degrees from our co-op college Calvary Christian Collegeand have gone
on to become devoted evangelists, pastors, teachers, counselors,
church ministry workers, and all-around exemplary Christians.

I thank God daily for you and the truths that you teach. I will take
them into the ministry with me and teach them to the church of God
without apology and without compromise. I cannot express how
grateful I am for this opportunity that God has given me to learn
and grow in my faith and in God's Word through PMI under your
leadership. May God bless you always. Curtis Fairchild (South Bay,
FL).

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My goal when I get out of
here is to work with prison ministry. I have seen first hand now how
much of a presence Satan has in a prison. Learning has never been so
interesting. Your lessons have given me a new look at things I have
read many times before. James George (Ayer, MA)

Dear
Brethren, I am excited about the distance educational
studies program for prisoners offered by Dr. Michael
Johnston's ministry. It is meeting the definite and growing
need for discipleship and Bible training in this segment of
our society. I have personally reviewed- as well as
participated in creating- the curriculum, and find it to be
scripturally sound. I am therefore happy to endorse Dr.
Johnston's program for prisoners, and recommend it to all
who are interested in becoming students of the Word and
servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. --Dr. Jack Van Impe

I have known Michael Johnston for over a
quarter of a century. I am amazed at his focus and
accomplishments with the PMI Ministries to prisoners. He
knows the scriptures, has a burden for the less fortunate
and has seen thousands come to Christ. This is one of the
great ministries, relatively unknown to the Christian world,
but needs the support of Bible believing Christians
everywhere. --Dr. Ed Reese: Professor (Crown College);
Historian/Author: Reese Chronological Bible; Reese
Chronological Encyclopedia of Christian Biographies (Dr.
Reese is with the Lord now)

God bless your ministry and
your compassion for hurting people . . . Keep lifting them
up because He always draws them to Him! --Chaplain Bob
Harrington, The Chaplain of Bourbon Street. (Chaplain Bob is
with the Lord now)

It has been a
great joy to be associated with Brother Johnston. He has
been a great help to me as I seek to study more in God's
amazing Word and further my education during these trying
times. The world needs men of understanding of the times to
know what we should do as in the days of Ezra. The courses
offered at PMI help fill that great need. As the world
descends into the long ago predicted insanity of the last
days we need ministries like this that stand true to God's
Word. Thanks for all you do Brother! --Dr. Kent Hovind

LUTHER RICE COLLEGE AND
SEMINARY: After a thorough review of our courses, we received
the following response from Luther Rice College & Seminary, the
undisputed pioneer in distance education:

Dear Dr. Johnston, Thank you for the follow-up letter of
October 3. I did, indeed, receive the materials you sent and found
them quite impressive. Of all the ministries that I have written,
yours comes closest to what I was hoping to find.

When I am advised of students who are looking for
high quality theological education but are unable to meet the
financial requirements of Luther Rice Seminary, I will certainly
recommend Promise Ministries.

Again, thank you for your concern and for the good
work that you are doing.

Once again
thank you for all you have done for me in these last 5 years. You
have made a great impact on my life and my future. PMI has really
blessed me and helped me to continue doing my father's work when I
leave here. You have really changed my life forever. Michael
Roseboro (South Carolina Prison).

Why I chose
PMI to train me. I have a brother in Christ here at Bay CF ... one
of your students. I have been looking for a way to further my
studies for some time now (He) was always studying and writing so I
asked him what he was doing. He explained how PMI has been such a
blessing in learning the truth. He gave me a few tracts to read from
(his) studies. I couldn't help but to notice how you stay completely
scriptural based and don't veer off. That is very hard to find;
people seem to be so opinionated and change things to fit their
agenda now days...I pray I will be accepted to your school, and
given the opportunity to serve God in a might way through PMI. Jason
Hogan (Florida Prison).

Thank you for
providing me with the study guide for Module 4 along with several
study tracts (collateral reading projects). While I have valued my
ministry studies with (another school we won't name), I find the PMI
studies more enriching. Your information provides "the food that
satisfies my religious hunger!" This is not a criticism of (the
other school) a fully accredited study, but rather this is a
compliment to your excellent program. Bradley Boyd (Georgia Prison)

One of the
correspondence courses I started in jail was your 8 Foundations
study (project) which I was able to complete just recently. I knew
from the very first letter I received from PMI that this was a
different kind of ministry that would test me and keep me on my
toes. From what I have learned ... your teaching is sound ...William
Staples (Nevada Prison).

Studying this
material has really helped me to understand just why
dispensationalism is the most accurate method of Bible
interpretation Your studies are giving me all I need for rightly
dividing the word of truth, and to teach those truths. Billy C.
Ruffin (Connecticut Prison)

I
made some huge mistakes of which I am greatly ashamed of but
have repented of them and am so thankful for the grace and
faithfulness of our Lord. I am writing as I am soon to be
serving a fairly lengthy prison sentence unless the Lord
intervenes as I've been praying for. I saw on your website
that I am to request the first of 8 in the Foundations of
Theology prerequisite study project and would like to do so
before I actually enter jail if possible. … I am so thankful
to have found your ministry as it is the only thing giving
me hope to be able to redeem the time as I pay the
consequences of my sin. I GREATLY look forward to hearing
from you as this is given my life new meaning and all I want
to do is serve the Lord with the rest of my life however He
may lead. I love Jesus and want to live my life in thanks to
Him by helping others with the help and comfort He has given
me. Thank you again and may God bless you and your AMAZING
ministry. In His Name, Shaun Holley (Pennsylvania Prison)

I
remembered I made a vow to God and your Center to send $20 a
month to help pay for the materials you send to me for Bible
studies. I know I have not sent in any course work, but I
have been busy preparing for my release from jail. [But] I
did not quit, that's why I'm sending in monthly vow. I want
to keep my participation in your [school] ... I have learned
a lot from your courses which has aided me in teaching
others here in jail. James Griffin [Pennsylvania Prison]

I
want to sincerely thank you for taking the precious time to
send me the tracts to review on various church doctrines;
especially about being baptized in the Holy Spirit and
speaking in tongues. I took a few days to review them and
pray about them before I contacted you. The phony
charismatic church had me believing [their dogma];
[concerning] that I needed to speak in tongues in order to
be saved which I have recently researched and found is false
teaching. I praise God for opening my eyes to false
religions and for revealing the truth to me. Your ministry
is fully blessed to be teaching the correct theology courses
that you offer. P. Barros (Florida Prison)

After meeting a couple of students form the PMI Center I had the
desire to enroll here. The character I see in these students reflect
what a true believer is. And after going through the 8 lesson
[Foundations] study my mind was made up. I see doctrinal truth
taught and expressed ... to me as a believer [helping me] become
obedient to His word. R. McKenzie (North Carolina Prison)

After spending the last week reviewing the tracts you sent to me,
the stirring inside me was confirmed. Your tracts [explaining
tongues and the heretical charismatic movement] made me realize I'm
not crazy. I always had an ill feeling about that [gibberish], but
didn't understand until I read your tract. I want to learn the
correct way so I can rightly divide the word of God. It's hard to
find like minded individuals as myself. [Your teachings] will not be
misused or abused. C. Smith (Florida Prison)

This (Ministry) Handbook is a priceless gem! I am so
blessed. I learned a lot of tips that only experience
usually teaches. D. Baker (Michigan Prison)

Reviewing Module 3 (Old Scofield Study Bible Program) I am
reminded of how demanding your curriculum is; the very
reason I selected it! I estimate the work load ... to
be in excess of 18,000* words which is similar to the first
three years of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. B.
Boyd (Georgia Prison)

*The Old Scofield Program is a 2 year 60 hour track in Theology
consisting of 4 Modules of 15 credit hours each.

I
think PMI is one of the most reputable studies I have found
and have heard about through other Christian brothers. After
doing the 8 (Foundation of Theology) studies PMI sent me I'm
convinced that Dr. Mike is very much right on track with the
Scriptures in the Bible. I love the honesty of the true
Bible message that is not very popular with most Christians
or churches. The truth ... is refreshing. S. Bowen (Maryland
Prison)

Dr.
Mike, this (Sharing Jesus) course was a special blessing to me
because it shows how important it is to evangelize. One night during
a chapel service this kid stood up and said he wanted to change his
life. The speaker called him up front and told him all these ways he
needs to change the way he thinks but not one time did this man tell
this kid about Jesus Christ! This hurt my heart. This was someone
from the free-world. After service I spoke to this young man and
went through the A,B,C,Ds (of the Sharing Jesus course) and he
received Jesus as his Lord and Saviour. J. Willis (Florida Prison)

Dr. Mike, I am an inmate pastor. I bring the message on
Sunday Night. As a pastor I knew how to teach others God's
Word yet the Sharing Jesus Course taught me how to present
the Gospel in a very simple way. So simple it's the ABSs of
salvation. Tonight I led two souls to Christ. I gave them a
tract and asked them to write you to get a Bible
correspondence course. R. Smith (Kansas Prison)

Thank you so much for the wonderfully valuable ministry of
PMI and for your diligence in discipling so many in our Lord
Jesus Christ's Name. I try to pray for you and PMI every day
and I thank God for you and your faithfulness. M. Buhrman
(IL Prison)

I've never been introduced to such truth in study.
Everything is so precisely or strategically placed. Dr. Mike
has made Biblical studies much more simple. Also, after
reading Dr. Jack Van Impe's Bible Memory plan I've adopted
his method of memorizing. I really like the topic plan he
uses. I would love to be mentally (prepared) like Dr. Van
Impe to defend God's Word. J. Williams (NC Prison)

This course was very informative. I actually learned what it
takes to be a minister preacher. I love being able to learn
from Dr. Johnston because he is fill of God's love and
passion for his students. C. Dotson (VA Prison)

From grateful moms

I
am so happy and proud to let you know that I received
Luigi’s Bachelor of Theology degree in today’s mail. I’m so
excited to tell Luigi! His Thesis is at Snowfall Press, we
ordered only one copy to make sure that we did it correctly,
and then we will run multiple copies and send one to you.
Again I don’t know how I am going to thank you for what you
have done for my son, and for our family. We will always be
supporters of PMI. May God Bless you in everything you do.
Shalom, C. Adamo

I appreciate what you and your school have done for my son
and for so many others like him - forgotten prisoners.
However, they are not forgotten by God and you are one of
the blessed ministries that He has chosen to help so many
forlorn and troubled prisoners who desperately need the
spiritual help and comfort you provide. You also provide the
tools they need to learn about Jesus Christ, and to witness,
teach and "comfort others in the same which they themselves
have been comforted/" God is using your ministry to offer
them opportunity to learn, and teach others like themselves.
Thanks for helping Marvin get the teaching he has longed for
by supplying him with these courses that have given him the
strength, peace, and the joy to fill these otherwise
unbearably dark and tedious years. Of course it has also
given him a valuable education he would have never had
otherwise and for that I thank you so very much. Thanks for
playing a large role in Marvin's recovery - God has a plan
and a purpose for him. He has another chance to be what God
always wanted him to be and I will be getting back a new
son. Praise the Lord. (B. Carver)

I just wanted to let you know Jason has led 41 men to the
Lord in the last 3 1/2 years. the last one was a Muslim -
PTL. Thank you for all you are doing to give him a Godly
education as we cannot afford to do so. Nancy M.

From students and others

The reason I want PMI to train me is that I feel that I'll
get the best training and learning. I feel God has placed
y'all in my life with the first 8 lessons of Foundations
study project. I also watch Dr. Jack Van Impe on TV. E.
Dixon (GA Prison)

I am very interested in the courses provided through PMI. I
see this is as a blessing, and thank you in advance. Also,
Dr. Van Impe spoke at our church Mt. Hope Assemblies and is
a person friend of Pastor Dave Williams. Thank you. M.
Resseguie (MI Prisoner)

I would like to thank Dr. Mike for these lessons. I learned
more Biblical doctrine in these eight (Foundations of
Theology study project) than I did while in Bible College.
Thom F Kendall (not a prisoner)

I am going to implement this Jack Van Impe Bible Memory
Program in my life and ministry. I am going to make index
cards and follow (it) which will help me be better equipped
with God's Word. Also knowing and memorizing true doctrine
will help better equip for ministry, and rebuke false
teachers. W. Kaus (TX Prisoner)

I believe the Lord wants me enrolled in PMI because of the
sound doctrine that it teaches, and the dedicated men and
women who willingly commit themselves to (helping) people
grow and mature in the ministry. I chose PMI because I had
heard so much about it and I can see how it is helping a
long of people inside the walls find the desire and passion
to know who God is, (and) what His will is. Since I've
been studying your Foundations (of Theology project) I have
seen sound doctrine being presented. Dr. Johnston God is
working through you to give hope unto those who had no hope.
Thank you for this opportunity. F. Britt (Florida Prison)

Since I have been taking the courses from you I have been
more enlightened and informed than ever . . . (and) steadily
witnessing to my fellow inmates as well as to many of my
free world folk. I am looking at possibly winning 11 souls
this month with the Lord's help. I am (also) looking forward
to the Lord in His time putting me into a church pastorate.
I will go wherever He will lead me. I am so thankful for you
(preparing and training) me for the ministry. M.
Reeves (Colorado Prison)

Dr. Mike, thank you for opening up my eyes to why it is
important to read and study from the King James Bible. T.
Chenault (Florida Prison)

Dr. Mike, your ministry has touched so many. Just like your
wall of pictures says [I have many of my students posted on
a wall about 6 feet to the left of my desk] - we are
watchmen on the wall - trained up well by this ministry to
blow the horn and warn this generation of the evil and that
which is coming. I love you Dr. Mike. I can never fully
explain the impact your work has had on my life, the doors
that it has opened, physically and in my heart. You told me
that God created me to do a specific mission that no one
else was equipped to do and if I didn't do it, the job may
very well go undone. God created you for this mission and
the job is being accomplished in hearts and minds of men and
women all over the country and them, throughout the world.
Your impact on the Kingdom of God is without measure. When
Paul said that -"... no eye has seen, nor ear has heard or
has entered into the heart of man that things that God has
planned for those that love Him..." (that was pretty close
anyway) we who have been your students see that manifested
in your life and by it, in our lives as well. Praise Him!
Cliff Robertson, Jr. (Ex Prisoner, now Pastor)

I knew there were differences in the translations, however I
didn't realize that the NKJV changed the very meaning of
God's Word. You have provided me a true blessing of
understanding. Thank you so very much for all that you do. C
Settle (Georgia Prison)

I had been raised a Muslim and eventually fell into the pit
of homosexuality. The latter sin plagued me for years. One
day I started studying the Foundations of Theology course
with PMI and started to realize how wrong my lifestyle was.
I bowed my knees and wept. I was so full of guilt and shame.
I asked the Lord to forgive me and to set me free from my
wicked ways. After I gave Him my life, I started reading His
Word and immediately preached the Gospel. To Him alone be
the glory. James Edward Nichols (CA Prison)

Please find enclosed ... my check for $50. I can't tell you
how much of a change I have seen in (Raul R's) life since he
began his studies with you and I know it must be so
rewarding for you when an inmate satisfactorily completes
you program. Thank you for the help and support you and PMI
have been to him. T. Bethea (Palatka Florida - non
prisoner).

I thank God for you and your ministry, that you give the men
of God that are incarcerated the opportunity to study to
show themselves approved and to rightly divide the word of
God through your courses (2 Tim 2:15). I strive each day to
pray for an hour when I first wake up and I spend at least
5-6 hours in my studies. S. Estiven (FL Prison)

I wanted to let you know what a blessing it has been
studying with you and PMI. But perhaps the greatest blessing
has been the requirement of reading the Bible through yearly
while enrolled. I know that I have read through the Bible
but it had been piecemeal while doing my studies. And while
that was a blessing in itself, it in no way compares with a
devoted, daily, chronological reading of Scripture. I got
ahead of myself this time around and am on my second
read-through this year. Anyone who isn't reading the Word of
God daily and completely on an annual basis is missing a
blessing. Thanks again for all that you do. -Ted Horton

Meant as a compliment, I want to share with you my thoughts
on the material. It is extensive! The amount of work and
depth of required research far exceeds any college level
studies I've completed. It will take me a great deal of time
. . . but I'll do my best to present my lessons in a
professional manner. B Boyd (Macon, GA)

Being considered an Associate Evangelist for PMI is truly an
honor, and I have been inspired to teach, preach, and share
the Word of God with those around me. In my sharing of the
Word Iï¿½ve come across all sects of religion that have seen
me studying and have heard me speak. Through curiosity on
their behalf, your literature along with what the Word of
God tells me in 2
Tim 2:15- Iï¿½ve been able to open the
eyes of a few brothers here that have been misled in their
search for spirituality; some of them have even fallen prey
to these television evangelists. But once again your
literature has helped me to open their eyes to things they
were overlooking. As a student of PMI Iï¿½m glad to be
studying the Word of God and able to boldly stand on the
truth of the Word along with literature to help me defend
the belief I’ve accepted through my studies. To God be the
glory. Roosevelt M (Baskerville VA)

I just wanted to give you an update on how things are going
here in Oakdale. God has been so very good it is hard to
even begin to describe. I have been working on a book for
several years now and just this last week it got referred to
the most prestigious Literary Agent in the Christian
Non-Fiction genre. The guy that got me the introduction,
which I never asked for, told me that he felt that God was
calling him to make this introduction and that the
manuscript had moved him to grow closer to God. It was at
that moment that, as far as I was concerned, the book had
achieved my goal - One person was pointed to Jesus Christ
and a heart had been touched and thereby changed by the
Master's Hand. The rest of it, is just God doing what only
God could do.

The reason I am writing to you about all of this is that I
want to thank you for what you are doing for the Lord. What
you probably don't know is that when I first felt in my
spirit God calling me to write, I simply began. But not long
after that, it hit me - Who is going to want to read what a
felon, with no college degree or Bible training has to say.
So, I went to God and asked Him to help me obtain the
education I needed to be a credible writer about faith, hope
and love - Jesus Christ and His Transforming Power - eternal
life and the fact that it begins the moment you accept Him
as your Savior... So, what I am telling you is that your
ministry is a answer to prayer so specific that it could
have only come from God. I didn't even know anything like
what PMI offers even existed but God did and He made a way
for me to obtain a list from another ministry when I
inquired about educational opportunities and your ministry
was at the top of the list. God made a way for me, when I
didn't even know one existed.

Thank you for your ministry as an instructor and watchman.
You, your family, your ministry and PMI are regularly in my
prayers; don't back down and don't give up. You will be
rewarded one day for your service to our Lord. PMI has been
just what I was looking for in Biblical education with
fundamental doctrine and sound Biblical teaching; I thank
you again for what you provide. the collateral material is
phenomenal as well; I keep it all in a three-ring binder
separated by subject for quick reference. Serving the One
Who died for all, Ted Horton (Holly Pond, AL)

Studying the material has really helped me dig into
Scripture on a level even my previous degrees didn't
provide. You have done an amazing job of structuring this
for maximum learning and comprehension. I truly am enjoying
the fundamentalist Baptist slant. Dr. Larry Yates (Ironton,
OH)

These courses have helped me to learn to live as a
Christian, not caring about what the world considers about
me, but instead only caring about pleasing the Lord. These
courses have also helped me to realize that much of my
ministering to others is truly done by the example I live
rather than just the words I speak. As always you are
continually in my prayers . . . Thank you. Nicholas B
(Hunlock, PA)

Awesome so far! In other Bible study programs (several
hundred to date) I have never been made to immerse myself in
God's Word so deeply. Roy R (Seagoville, TX)

Letter from PhD (Theology) student. Dear Dr. Mike: This
material has really helped me to gain a much-expanded
Christian worldview of the Biblical doctrines taught in the
Bible, and become more aware of just what factions and false
dogmas that contend for theological world stage and what
they represent. You have been obedient, Dr. Mike, in
equipping me with some powerful tools to further God's glory
in my life in using me as His vessel to do His will in the
earth. I am saturated with overwhelming gratitude and
thankfulness for what He has done thus far, and for using
His willing servants (you) to appropriate and distribute His
good gifts as He sees fit. You are a brother in Christ to
whom (upon release) I will keep in contact. Marvin H
(Ordway, CO)

Dr. Mike, your constant reminder of paying close attention
to hermeneutics is really helpful. The way you describe how
to feed yourself with true interpretation of the awesome
word of God-- well it's like drinking an energy drink of the
Holy Spirit. Your teaching is divine and truly inspired. I
know the Holy Spirit is alive in everything you have sent
me-especially my Old Scofield Study Bible. Kevin S
(Sturtevant, WI)

From one of my Scofield Study Bible students: Studying this
material really helped me in establishing a methodical
approach to studying Scripture that insures a more complete
understanding aiding in rightly dividing the word of truth,
avoiding and exposing false teaching and doctrine by
revealing the truth of God's Word. I have been introduced to
chain references: a very useful and productive tool in
mining gems of truth and correct application Thank you for
helping me get more and more truth and life studying God's
awesome word. This course is such a blessing. Betti K
(Fredonia, KY)

Letter from a grateful mom: Dr. Mike Johnston, I am sending
you another set of papers from W.M. in the Southern Desert
Cor Ctr, Nevada. I make copies of his papers to send to
friends and family that are supporting him at this time in
what is turning out to be a God sent thing in his life
instead of a big problem. I see a change in him spiritually
and in the talks we have when he calls. God bless you and
thanks for being there for my son. Your sister in Christian
love and faith, Michelle M.

My evangelism report for the month of September. Twenty-six
men have willingly accepted the invitation to the Christian
life through the PMI Associate Evangelism Ministry and the
ABCDs of Salvation and Decision! Jesus Christ has taken over
many lives here in the Connell Unit . . . thank God
for PMI Associate Evangelism Ministry. Daniel D (Beeville,
TX)

I want to share with you a blessing that was given to me. I
had been reading your information concerning the validity of
The King James Version of the bible versus the others. I had
been using a New King James Bible Study Bible and decided
after reading your letter that I should get a King James
Study Bible to use instead. Two days later an inmate that I
work with handed me a King James Study Bible, brand new and
still in the box. He explained that his family had sent it
to him a few months back but he had not been using it. He
said the Lord had put it on his heart to bring it to work
and give it to me to use. For me that was confirmation of
the need to use the King James Bible. Hal B. (Texarkana
Prison)

Enclosed is my offering for PMI. I'm grateful for this
ministry, the doctrine I have received of the Lord through
you, and ministry training I've received. I pray many more
will be led as I have been, and will find your Bible college
as much of a blessing as I have. If what we know through all
eternity is what we study in the Word now, PMI is greatly
enriching the eternal inheritance of believers. Keep it up!
God bless, Bryan Swinford (Cincinnati, OH)

Studying this material has really helped me in
(understanding various) areas of ministry. I can not even
function good at all Dr. Mike without studying with my every
breath. Since I have been with (the PMI Center), I crave
more and more every day. Truly your school and (study
programs) are the best studies. Russell J. (Alamo, GA)

I just finished Scofield (Module 2, Concentration) 203 - The
Bible chapter and book summaries. I can tell you that I have
learned so much from that exercise that I am not sure where
to even begin - I have seen things I have never seen before
- I have been moved in ways by His Word that I never before
knew. It has been tough but so very worthwhile. I speak to
others who are taking other paths about the work that I am
doing versus the work that they are doing. The path that
this and the previous coursework has put me on is far
superior to anything else I see. I have spoken with
graduates of the one of the most well known Baptist seminary
and we are doing things that they are not doing - we are
working harder - going deeper - writing 10x's more. So, I
just wanted to say thank you for this opportunity, that I
would have had any other way. I sit in services and hear
error. I listen to the radio and hear error. I pray to God
that I will never be one of those and He reminds me of the
work I am doing - the college work. It has been an amazing
journey that is till in the beginnings. I want to scream at
Pastors, Preachers and Teachers when I hear them twist the
truth. God has me there for a reason. At first it perplexed
me at how God still moves in those services. Then I was
reminded that when His word is being spoken and read, it
will not come back void. Yet, imagine if it was properly
divided and explained - How much more would God be honored
and how much would His Holy Spirit be free to move and
convince, convict and compel those who so desperately need
to come to His throne of grace!? That is my mission and I
know it is yours as well. It has been a rare privilege to be
under your hand of instruction and guidance. Thank you Dr.
Mike for your contending for the faith and making sure that
we, who walk this path with you, are prepared to do the
same. Clifford R (Oakdale, LA)

First off, thank you for the course. This study of the
Pastoral Epistles has really allowed the Holy Spirit to
reveal things to me through the studies. I have definitely
grown from this course and not only learned things but also
have applied the things to my life as a new minister. I look
forward to starting the next course (Acts and Ministry).
William (Nevada Prison)

William's mother wrote this kind note: Thanks for being here
and doing this for my son. I see him in his work coming back
to the Lord and where he was as a teen. PS: I'm copying his
work in my computer for our family to read. We love it.
Thanks again. Michelle O (Degraff, OH)

Thank you for your courses. They are such a blessing! God
put a man who follows the FOI (Fruit of Islam) in the cell
with me. Although he tries to poke holes in my faith, your
courses and collateral (reading assignments) have equipped
me to defend the faith and show him the truth. I pray for
his salvation. I also pray for PMI! Thank you for your
ministry. B. Norris (PA Prison)

I
have such a desire and craving for the Word of God, and love
the Lord with all my heart. I constantly work on these
studies from around 8 am till later in the evening (when) I
get ready for bed. This is all I do in here. This is my
seminary training ground . . . The courses have helped me
spread the Word with boldness and almost getting beat up by
pagans in here that do not want to hear about God and Jesus.
Many blessings, sincerely M. Reeves (Colorado Prison)

I learned the best training on how to save God's precious
souls. This course has now made me even more valuable to God
and more of a threat to Satan. Dr. Mike I sincerely thank
you because you have given me the best gift that any man
could have iven me, and that is the much needed knowledge on
how to save the lost. M. Salinas (AZ Prison)

Thank you for all you have done to help me in this spiritual
journey that I'm on. You are an inspiration to me and I am
so blessed to have you as a teacher. Your ministry is very
powerful in the prison system and I pray God will bless you
for your sacrifice and most of all your obedience to His
call. John (Virginia Prison)

I want to thank you for the time and effort of love you put
into the Lord's service. You have given me the heart to
support PMI for what they do to help others the rest of my
life. I will be able to do much more when I get out, but for
now I will do what I can. Ralph (Massachusetts Prison)

Heartbreaking letter from one of my students: Dr. Mike,
studying this (Scofield Study Bible Course) has truly helped
me since my encounters with Jehovah's Witnesses and Muslims
are much in prison. Please pray for me Dr. Mike. Please help
me to keep studying with you, please Dr. Mike, you are my
home now and my counselor. Please help me help myself. I
need you. Gene (Georgia Prison)

[This is what the Lord had in mind in 1981 when He burdened
me to start the PMI Center for Biblical Studies. THANK YOU
LORD JESUS!! Please help me to be faithful to THEE all the
days of my life!]

This (Sharing Jesus evangelism) course has reenergized me to
share God's Word. I have been able to witness several times
and I was able to lead one young man to Christ. His name is
Michael, and he was a member of the Blood's gang. Please
pray for him. He has already been warned that he can't
accept Jesus because when he joined the gang, the Bloods
became his god. Please pray for protection for him. R.
Challender (Georgia Prison)

I am thoroughly enjoying my studies with you. I feel
inspired and closer to Christ than ever. Thank you again for
your support. John Evans (Georgia Prison)

Once again I would like to thank you for offering all of the
tracts that you do. They help with explaining to others
around me the things in which I do not yet know or
understand . . . I have started a daily Bible study (using
your tracts). I showed everyone the list of the tracts that
are available and together we picked some that would help us
as a whole. I can't thank you enough for helping me . . .
Wade Wheeler (Virginia Prison)

I have been mentoring this fellow in here that says he has
tried it all- Wicca, Buddhism, etc., but knows the answer is
found in the Bible. I have another person that is a
Messianic Jew who had a Jewish Bible, but I sat down with
him and your tract- "25 Characteristics of a Counterfeit
Bible" and when I was finished, he got a King James Bible.
Charles Hardy (NC Prison)

Rest assured we will support your ministry because it has
helped Marvin so very much and directly responsible for him
achieving his goal of getting the Christian education he had
always wanted to acquire, before his life took a devastating
turn. If prison was the way the Lord allowed for
Marvin to be used by Him, then I praise God for it.
Jack and Betty (Parents of student)

I'd like you to know that I have been your Acts
6:4 prayer partner since completing your
Foundations courses last year. I am your intercessory prayer
warrior who begins my prayers between 3:45 and 4:00 every
day for an hour or more . . . I am praying for you Dr.
Mike; your family, staff, and volunteers at PMI. John Eckert
(California Prison).

I just wanted to write and let you know how much you mean to
me and Stacey. I have learned and grown in the Lord since
I've been a part of your school. Words can't thank you
enough. Thank you for all you do. In Christ, Dr. Waylon Kaus
(Texas Prison)

I had to come to prison to find true freedom. Dr. Mike you
have (given) me more than you will ever know. You helped in
giving my life back and you gave me friendship. God bless
you. Aaron Hazelett (California Prison)

You have no idea how much I appreciate this ministry. I was
told yesterday that a major ministry leader is making
arrangements to come see me after hearing my story. It was
suggested he might want me to join his ministry upon leaving
prison. Just know that none of this would be (possible) if
you hadn't been faithful to God's call. I thank you in God's
name for your faithfulness. People don't believe that a
(person) has been able to accomplish so much while in
prison. Only because another man was faithful was it
possible! Clifford Robertson (Louisiana Prison)

I thank God for men like you who take a stand for God and
are not afraid to expose the devil for what he is. Thank you
for your ministry and being willing to mentor men like me.
Doug Parker (Mississippi Prison)

Thank you for allowing me to study the truth of God's Word.
With your teaching I've come to depths of understanding that
I would have never reached by myself. Dr. Mike you have
fulfilled Matthew
25:36: "I was in prison and ye came unto
me." God bless and keep you. Marion Westerman (Arkansas
Prison)

UPDATE from bro Westerman: this continues to be the best and
deepest studies I've taken in the ministry, bar none and I
am so thankful to you Dr. Mike and all those there at PMI
who are truly in the service of the Lord in these "end
times"! Marion Westerman (Arkansas Prison)

Studying this material has really helped me understand some
important facts about the Word of God. It really is eye
opening the way I am learning about different people's views
of the Bible and how wrong lots of (them) are. I really am
enjoying this study. It is a lot of work but I am enjoying
the word. It's helping me out a lot. E. Williams (CO Prison)

Thank you so much for my Scofield Studies. I am practically
living 8-12 (hours) per day in prayer and praise. My
relationship with Him just gets closer daily. Thank you and
your coursework for being the catalyst in my push closer to
God. Aaron Dotson (Colorado Prison)

I just wanted you to know that the Old Scofield Theology
Course is awesome. This Bible (school) is the best thing to
happen to me. So much revelation it's intense . . . I'm up
at 5:40 am almost every day praying and reading. Thanks for
everything. Bryan Swinford

This Soul Patrol (PMI Assoc. Evangelist ministry) has really
changed my life. I have (won) 7 souls since I began this
course. I just truly thank PMI for giving me this chance to
do what's right for God. This course has made me a stronger
man also. (One) of the 7 souls was a homosexual and I really
feel great about that! Glory be to God. The guards know that
I'm a child of God without even saying anything. There's
even one that says, "Hey Quentin, tonight read (this verse
or that verse)" even when I'm out on the yard. God is in
control. Quentin Parker (North Carolina Prison)

This particular study (Rapture and the Revelation- Mystery
vs. Prophecy) has been so far the most challenging. The
subject matter drew a lot of attention from several inmates,
so I took time to learn and teach as the Lord willed. I was
even blessed to teach a couple of dorm officers. This is
very rare to be esteemed enough to teach both inmates and
officers. I am honored and humbled. Thank you for accepting
me and giving me this opportunity for knowledge. Jeffrey T.
(Florida Prison)

I want you to know how much this degree program has changed
my life, and I am only 15 hours into it. If you are not
serious and 100% sure you want to be in ministry, you will
not be able to complete this course. So far this ministry
course has been above my expectations. Thank you for the
chance. John Thebeau (Illinois Prison).

I'm very impressed with the literature and information you
mailed me. I have not found anybody else that stands up for
Biblical truths and is willing to oppose heresy correctly in
years- and NOW by the grace of God I find out that you do
such. I love the literature you sent. Harold Hempstead
(Florida Prison).

I was fascinated by my 1st year of Biblical studies. My
whole life has changed. What impresses me is that my
communication with God is stronger. Thank you for that.
Matthew Nichols (Arizona Prison).

After the first two course studies in Ministry Ordination, I
find myself more enlightened about God's ways and the
ministry of Jesus Christ. Every day I divide the Word of God
and meditate on it. I'm not only growing stronger as a
soldier for Jesus but becoming like Him. I give thanks to
God for your ministry that is training, teaching, and
transforming my spiritual life in Christ! Fuet Hang (North
Carolina Prison).

Thank you for these studies and your dedication to truth.
It's refreshing and inspiring to know that there are still
some leaders out there who aren't afraid to tell it like it
is and shake some Christians out of their tolerant and
complacent stupors. (Also) I would like to thank you for
such a wonderful opportunity. For a long time I have known
the call of God on my life, but I never thought I'd ever get
a college education, especially one such as this. God has
blessed me greatly with your program and I am so grateful.
John Arange (Oklahoma Prison).

UPDATE FROM BROTHER ARANGE (above): I am preparing my first
sermon to be delivered Tuesday November 15th . . . a10
minute sermon for that night. It is by God's blessing me
with this coursework through that I am able to prepare it.
It is based on an assignment from "Sharing Jesus" that was
entitled "The Worth of One Soul." Thank you for this
education and your obedience to God in providing it. I'm
enjoying the challenge and drawing closer to God with every
assignment. John Arange (Oklahoma Prison)

[From one of our 2 Year, Old Scofield Study Bible in
Theology students]: Thank you for sending me these lessons!
I thank God for you and the others like you who minister to
inmates in jails and prisons across the US. You have not
forgotten about us. You truly fulfill the Word in Matthew
25:35: I was in prison and ye came unto
me. The study course is tough! And I like it! The
symmetry and design of the assignments is amazing. I
appreciate the writing that is required to complete each
assignment. Jameson Wood (Virginia Prison)

Every time I read through the Bible it opens my eyes more to
God; but going over it like this . . . WOW! Phillip
Swain (Florida Prison)

I thank God daily for you and the truths that you teach. I
will take them into the ministry with me and teach them to
the church of God without apology and without compromise. I
cannot express how grateful I am for this opportunity that
God has given me to learn and grow in my faith and in God's
Word through PMI under your leadership. May God bless you
always. Curtis Fairchild (Florida Prison).

I would like to take a moment to thank you Dr. Mike. I was
at a place of contentment and I was satisfied with what I
had accomplished as far as studying God's Word. But through
PMI I was able to begin to go deeper. Most of the courses I
had done in the past gave you a text to read and then asked
questions to be answered- pretty easy. But PMI challenged me
and gave me opportunity to go into the Bible and look for
the deeper truths of God's Word. (God) is using you in a
mighty way. William Moody (New Jersey Prison).

The Bible study from PMI has had a . . . tremendous
impact on the lives of the people that I've been blessed to
share Jesus, preach, and teach all this God brought forth
through the PMI (Center for) Biblical Studies. Kirby Spriggs
(Louisiana Prison).

I learned how to bring souls to Christ more easily and
effectively. I do thank you as well as my Lord and Saviour
Jesus Christ. I feel like I am about to turn my world upside
down and this prison system until I go home. Thank you Dr.
Mike, I can use this always. Brian McMaster (North Carolina
Prison).

I probably have never done such an intense study of God's
Word, or have taken part in a concentrated program of study
courses such as this one (PMI; but I'm loving the challenge
and am deeply satisfied over the accomplishments of my
writing ability (thanks to the Mind of Christ) . . . though
reading and knowing the Word of God as I have in the last
four decades of my life, the material that your courses have
marched me through up to now has become alive and intimate
in their scope of personal instruction and Holy revelation.
God bless you Dr. Mike and your staff of tireless workers in
the Lord! Marvin Hatcher (Colorado Prison).

I thank God for you and PMI. You saved my life. And then
after you saved my life you came back again and rekindled
the fire in my soul. Dr. Freddie Abney, Jr. (Missouri
Prison).

I am so thankful that I found PMI. What a blessing this
ministry has become to me. Under your watchful mentoring I
have already discovered so much more doctrine, revelation
and understanding of God's holy, inspired Word. What a joy
to be able to study the Word in depth. I cannot believe how
many years I have wasted to truly discover the vast
resources and pure truth of the Scriptures. This current
study in the Old Scofield Study Bible is the very essence of
the heavenly gateway to a closer walk with our Lord and
Savior. This is without doubt Theology, the knowledge of God
in its fulfillment to impart wisdom, discernment and
edification of the believer to build a firm foundation in
the faith. Thank you so much for the opportunity to "study
to shew myself approved." To God be the glory! Searching the
Scriptures, Steven Collins (Tennessee Prison).

Just these few words to say I love you and what you're doing
(for) the love of Christ. The way your father and you have
blessed me- it has changed me forever. If I die today, I
will die with a smile on my face because of the impact you
two powerhouses have had on my life. Manuel A. Romero
(California Prison).

Studying this material has really helped me realize the
emphasis Mark places on Christ's role as servant. I do not
believe there is anything more beneficial I could be doing
with my time than attending your school. Thank you so much
for your ministry. Jonathan Thompson (North Carolina
Prison).

I want to sincerely thank you for pouring into my life and
allowing God to use you all there at PMI to establish your
hearts to not forget about those who are bound. I received
the info filled packets and I'm overjoyed with anticipation
into what the spirit will counsel me within the word. Thank
for being diligent towards us here and all over, that share
in this experience of being discipled in Gods word. Truly,
Dr. Mike, you all have been a pivotal blessing in my life
(incarcerated) and I praise God for the elect as you all
are. Thank you for being demonstrations of God's grace to
us. God bless in abundance . . . D Williamson (Pennsylvania
Prison).

Your gift of any amount will help us
continue reaching and teaching prisoners for Christ.

PMI IS JUST THE PLACE: A TESTIMONY REGARDING GOD'S
PROVIDENCE

It is my personal conviction that God has an appointed
person, place, or thing at an appointed time, for an
appointed purpose. While incarcerated for over 18 months, I
have been studying God's Word in depth. I have completed
over 14 Bible study courses. During these months I was given
the name of Dr. Mike Johnston, President of the PMI Center.
It was then that I realized that there was divine work at
hand here, for I had prayed for God's guidance to show me
somewhere that I could continue my Biblical studies but on a
higher educational level suitable for the work in God's
ministry.

PMI is just such a place from medium level to advanced
studies they offer a variety of degree courses. Within PMI's
curriculum I have found exactly what I was looking for.
Studies that I can do towards my degree while incarcerated
at a very cost effective enrollment; but, I am able to
continue to study with PMI upon my release which is vitally
important to my type of ministry.

Once released, I will be involved in work, plus time spent
with a ministry to the sick, shut-in, nursing home, jail and
prisons. Not to mention three very precious grandchildren,
who I hope will go with me on some nursing home visits.

Dr. Mike has proven to be extremely perceptive and
knowledgeable as to the written and spoken Word. I find that
his beliefs are what God's inspired Word has ordained for
believers, TRUTH, nothing added, nothing removed; TRUTH, the
Good News, the Great Commission, the Rapture, and the New
Jerusalem.

I believe I was sent to you by God because He knew I would
learn a lot from your insight into a life with Him. I have
learned so much from your studies . . . I never (knew) that
a study could make me so happy, but I can't wait for the
next one. I know I need your program because God pushed me
towards you. Thank you and God bless you. Jason Gideon
(Michigan Prison)

On behalf of the men currently at our institution we would
like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the generous
books you've donated. The men here are in awe of the various
spiritual selections you saw fit to send us and are humbled
by your generosity. Chaplain Albert Kolff (Racine Cor.
Inst.)

I feel like your studies are finally going to show me a lot
of the Scripture that I've needed to make me a stronger
Christian so I definitely thank you for that. Johnnie
Swinehart (Michigan Prison)

As I studied these two books (Ephesians and Colossians) I
learned more than I thought I (ever) could. This was
everything I was looking for on learning my Bible. I have to
have discipline to finish in a timely manner. Thank you for
accepting me. My next course I will be working on is Church
Organization and Leadership. Christopher Reece (Georgia
Prison)

Thank you very much for the 6 boxes of books and the other
material you sent . . . it is only through precious
ministries like yours that the spiritual needs of the ladies
can be met. I thank you for helping us to meet those needs.
Chaplain Bernita A. Earle (Delores J. Baylor Women's
Correctional Institution)

I thank God for men like you who are not afraid to stand up
for God and expose these cults, false prophets and false
teachers of today. Your books and tracts have really opened
my eyes to a lot. Thank you bro Mike. Terry Hall
(Mississippi Prison)

(The Sharing Jesus evangelism course) has really opened my
heart to the truth of my love for sharing Christ with
others. I wasn't going out looking for people to share
Christ with until I was told to do it in this course. I'd
never passed out tracts before. (Now) I've had things made
clear to me concerning all I must do. I (won't) rest until
I've done all that I can to win souls for the Lord. Thank
you for making this clear. Ellis Matthews (Florida Prison)

EXCITING FOLLOW UP LETTER FROM BROTHER MATTHEWS: I am writing to let you know that
I've just won a precious soul. I am proud to say that I
followed (Dr. Mike's) soul winning outline overview (in the
Sharing Jesus course). All of this took place over three
days of talking and sharing Scripture. Dr. Johnston, all
round me I see men who are in need of Jesus Christ. Some
know that they need Him and others know it but are more
concerned with what will be said about them. I know that
this is my calling to Share Jesus Christ. I pray that the
Lord continues to use you. Ellis Matthews (Florida Prison)

ENROLLMENT INFORMATION FOR PRISONERS AND NON-PRISONERS
(Foundations of Theology will be sent)

Write and request the first of 8 in the Foundations of
Theology prerequisite study project!

After finishing your Foundations of Theology (8 Lessons), I
requested your Intro Pack. I was highly impressed with the
level of Bible studies you offer. I have finished several
from different ministries yet I have not found them to be
challenging enough, or demanding. Your program is at college
level which not many Bible schools offer . . . your
program offers serious dedication and total commitment. Tony
Carrera (California Prison)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. My goal when I get
out of here is to work with prison ministry. I have seen
first hand now how much of a presence Satan has in a prison.
Learning has never been so interesting. Your lessons have
given me a new look at things I have read many times before.
James George (Massachusetts Prison)

Today is such a blessing to me. At 9:30 am central a man
whom I have been witnessing to and praying for for over 4
years accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. I am
writing this down just moments after everything has occurred
and my tears are dripping on this page. Dr. Mike, I have led
others . . . but never in my life have I experienced
the joy and wonder that now fills my every fiber. I want to
thank PMI and you Dr. Mike for giving me the tools (through
the Sharing Jesus evangelism course). Love and peace. Steven
Wertz (Arkansas Prison)

I want to thank you for caring about me. I am humbled that
you have accepted me as a student. I have been studying and
working hard to restore my life, and with God's blessing and
your kindness I have a good feeling about my future. My goal
is to take God's great Word to others that like me, got lost
in a world of lying, lust and disgrace . . . for now,
the lessons you send will be given my total attention and
love. What you are doing for me is incredible. Thank you for
all your time and effort. (He included this note with his
lesson submission):

Excellent study, very challenging. I appreciate the way this
study is presented, it makes you think! I look forward to
the next one, I can not get enough of this. James George
(Massachusetts Prison)

I've enclosed a little money that I pray will help out. I
will send more when I can. I can't express to you how these
studies are impacting my life and ministry. I thank you for
obeying our Lord in good works. It has blessed me so much to
be in the PMI program. Thomas Richardson (Tennessee Prison)

Life here is a daily bombardment of corruption. Abiding
within my Christ Jesus is the only relationship here that I
seek. All other relationships that I have here are all
filtered through His standard. I am curious as to what the
filtering process will be when I return to my home church.
Will I find the same apostate conditions there that I deal
with here? Dr. Mike, this is a trepidation that concerns me
to my very soul. Marvin Hatcher, (Colorado Prison)

Thank you for your encouraging and uplifting words . . .
and being a man of God who cares for others. I wrote the
pastor of the church I was going to twice, but he never
wrote back. You remind me of Jesus (Who) left the 99 to go
after the 1. Thank you for who you are and helping me in my
walk in Jesus. Ronald Hampton, (Florida Prison)

I'm enjoying the depth of understanding that I'm gaining (in
my study program). I never realized I was overlooking so
much vital knowledge. Thank you brother for working with me
in this. I want to equip myself for a lifelong journey doing
God's work. Cameron Flood, (North Carolina Prison)

This course is more advanced than any other course that I
have ever taken in Biblical studies. It is a lot of writing,
but I am enjoying every bit of it. Henry Lee Loston,
(Texas Prison)

I would like to thank you for finding an interest in me and
sending me the Bible studies. I really love them so much
(because) I want to get all the knowledge I can about my
Lord and Savior. I feel so good spiritually when I learn new
things about the Lord Jesus Christ. I was lost for 38 years-
using drugs and alcohol. When I was saved, I was brought to
my knees to repent of my sins, but I didn't change and I was
sent to prison. It took this prison sentence to finally wake
me up to do the right thing. Robert Tyndell (New Jersey
Prison)

Thank you for this study, (it) is the one I have been
looking for. Do you remember the 2 guys that walked along
and Jesus came walking with them? This was after the
resurrection and their heart burned inside while they talked
not knowing it was Jesus. That's how I feel right now and
while I was doing this study. Thank you once again. Kevin
Dee Clark (Tennessee Prison)

I was told about PMI by another inmate who is currently
doing one of your courses (who) says that it's amazing. He
tells me that in his studies his personal relationship with
Jesus Christ deepens in intimacy every day and he has
discovered things (in the Scriptures) he never dreamed of.
Boyd Johnson (Minnesota Prison)

I'm writing you from a very dark place and death and Hell
are all around me. Men's hearts are waxed cold, ungodliness
has taken hold of their ways and wont let go. Peace is not
welcome here, evil controls (from) on high, BUT the Word of
God that worketh in me is bringing the mountain down. I ask
you for books on faith, on the Holy Spirit and His work . .
. in here there are no books on the book cart but
worldiness, sex, evil works- will you please send me
something to read (and about enrolling) in your Bible
college. Pray for me. Dennis Gatewood (Michigan Prison)

God is really blessing me through your ministry. Satan has
been very active in trying to discourage me. He took my son,
took my wife, then tried to take my faith in my salvation.
Your article on Assurance has awakened my senses to God's
Word of truth. Many ministries twist the Bible verses which
at times can confuse a young Christian like myself. Thank
you. Robert Zukowski (Pennsylvania Prison)

I believe the Lord Jesus wants me enrolled in the PMI Center
. . . I believe my interest is God inspired. I know
two brothers in Christ that have earned degrees from PMI and
they are both wiser in the Word of God than almost anyone
else I know here. They speak about Christ from sunrise to
sunset and they are confident in the Word. They are on fire
for the Lord; they don't just speak about the Lord, they
live it! Irving Rivera (New Jersey Prison)

It was truly a pleasure doing these lessons. My bond with
the Lord has become a lot stronger (which) makes me very
happy. Thank you so much for what you have done for me and
for other people. May God continue to bless you! David Wimer
(Pennsylvania Prison)

Thank you so much for your letter and your help for my son
Ellis. He is very excited about starting the courses and I
am grateful for people like you who understand that the Holy
Ghost is in prison also, working and moving in men and
women's lives. While I'm not a wealthy person, I know God
will help me send $15 each month. Cathy Oliver

I believe that Jesus has provided me with the information
about your program. (He) wants me to grow spiritually and
your program is an outstanding way to accomplish this. I
pray that you will accept me into your program so I may
grow. I will apply myself fully. Denver Stites (Michigan
Prison)

I would like to thank Dr. Mike for allowing me to take
(these) courses. I am learning so much by (this) method of
going through each chapter of the Bible. Thank you again,
Dr. Mike! J Price (Pennsylvania Prison)

I think your program is a blessing to prisoners and free
world people who are willing to learn more about the Lord. I
thank you. Michael Brister (Texas Prison)

I'm so very fortunate to have met you and the PMI team . . .
the encouragement you send me through my continued updated
transcripts is wonderful . . . I accept (your)
invitation to evangelize throughout this prison and wherever
else I go from here. So please allow me to sit at the feet
of our Savior and listen as He instructs PMI to instruct me.
DuJuan W (PA Prison)

After receiving the Soul Patrol (PMI Assoc. Evangelist
program) package and Sharing Jesus (step by step
evangelism training course) God has taken me to another
level. I now have the tact to share Jesus and effectively
share the gospel with a lost soul. I used to write my heart
out to Bible colleges and other places begging them to let
me in to learn how to preach the gospel and to do it
effectively. I give Him all the praise and glory for working
in you to reach many hungry brothers like myself. Evangelist
C Carter (Georgia Prison).

I was referred to you by Tom, a minister of the Shadow
Mountain Community Church. I'm currently incarcerated in
solitary confinement at a California State prison. I told
Tom I needed spiritual help and he gave me your address- so
here I am! Please help me in any way you can. Jimmy Lopez
(California Prison).

I honestly feel that God is involved with PMI. So many
schools offer a surface oriented education . . . but not
PMI. This is a school (offering) long lasting training in
the deep things of God. Thanks so much, and may you
sincerely be blessed by Him who wills that we all learn of
His Word, the Bible. Dr. Michael Barnett (Texas Prison).

Greetings my dear brother. Just to update you on my
evangelist monthly report and to let you know the
blessing God is sending my way- Praise God . . . this
month was great news (Sharing Jesus). I was able thank for
the guidance of the Holy Spirit to (win) two souls to Christ
. . . both converted from the Muslim belief. Praise
God! I have begun a discipleship study here in the dorm with
6 men in the study. Praise God!!! Evangelist William Wooten
(Georgia Prison).

The Bible teaches that the basic secret of guidance is
commitment to the will of God. Your courses help instill
that . . . Christian witness is the privilege and duty which
arises from the experience of God's salvation in Jesus
Christ. Commanded by God, and worldwide in its scope and
intention, its purpose is to set forth God's saving acts in
the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in
accordance with the Scriptures, and our dependence on the
Holy Spirit. Thank you for this course. I am ready for more!
Dr. John Osborn (Arizona Prison).

OUR MINISTRY WITH YOUR HELP
For over 30 years, our ministry to tens of thousands of
hungry prisoners can be summed up in the words of Paul in Galatians
4:19: My little children, of whom I travail in birth
again until Christ be formed in you. During that time, we
have watched as the Spirit of God has taken the Word of God
and made sons of God. Every PMI student applicant is given
an 8-week Foundations of Theology preliminary course to
introduce them to Christ and to ground them in the Christian
life before any college level work is sent. All of these
courses are provided as TUITION ASSISTED to students, with
funds provided by precious supporters like
you that are concerned about inmate's souls. Would
you please help us continue sending life-changing Bible
courses to prisoners? One day when we stand before the Lord
Jesus at the Bema Judgment, we'll rejoice together that you
did!
